In
2017,
the
much-loved
Akhil
Akkineni
became
the
talk
of
the
town
when
Hello
opened
to
a
decent
response
at
the
box
office
and
received
good
reviews
from
the
target
audience.
The
action-thriller
also
featured
Kalyani
in
the
lead
and
helped
Akhil
put
the
debacle
called
Akhil
behind
him.
At
present,
he
is
in
the
limelight
because
of
his
latest
and
third
release
Mr
Majnu.
The
romantic
drama
hit
the
screens
on
January
25,
2019
and
opened
to
a
decent
response
at
the
box
office.
Now,
6
days
after
its
big
release,
Mr
Majnu
has
run
out
of
steam
and
is
set
to
flop
big
time.
Mr
Majnu
Set
To
Flop
Big
According
to
the
latest
reports,
Mr
Majnu
completely
collapsed
after
an
okayish
first
weekend.
The
decline
was
sharper
than
expected
and
the
film
never
really
recovered
from
the
same.
The
situation
is,
apparently
so
grave
that
the
buyers
have
already
started
asking
the
producers
for
compensation.
Its
6
day
gross
is
around
Rs
13
Crore.
A
Bad
Decision
The
general
feeling
is
that
Mr
Majnu
failed
to
make
an
impact
at
the
box
office
because
it
released
on
the
wrong
date.
Being
a
romantic-drama,
it
would
have
done
better
had
it
hit
the
screens
on
February
14,
2019.
The
decision
to
release
it
in
January
also
backfired
because
there
were
several
big
releases
in
the
month
and
Mr
Majnu
kind
of
got
lost
in
the
mix.
Decent
WOM
Fails
To
Save
Majnu
Most
fans
are
of
the
opinion
that
Mr
Majnu
is
a
pretty
well-made
and
entertaining
film
which
is
better
than
Akhil's
previous
releases.
The
critics
have
also
stated
that
the
screenplay
is
reasonably
entertaining
especially
in
the
first
half.
As
such,
the
WOM
is
definitely
quite
healthy.
However,
this
seems
to
have
had
little
to
no
impact
on
the
box
office
performance
of
Mr
Majnu.
The
Way
Ahead...
The
lackludstre
performance
of
Mr
Majnu
clearly
indicates
that
Akhil
has
a
long
way
to
go
before
he
can
become
a
crowd
puller.
He
will
have
to
plan
his
next
career
move
rather
carefully.
The
buzz
is
that
is
that
he
might
soon
star
in
a
sports-drama
and
it
will
be
worth
watching
how
that
turns
out
